The design of the CLEO-III Trigger produced 24 different multilayer printed circuit board designs, and over 100 FPGA configurations. Only one board design was intentionally prototyped and respun; only one board design was respun due to design/layout error; only one board design had more than 6 ECO wires. A detailed case study of the CLEO-III Trigger design methodology is presented. Scheduling, ...

With the rapid development of computer technology, information and network technology, the traditional retrieval model based on keywords and text description can not meet the needs of mass image retrieval. Therefore, content-based image retrieval has become a hot research topic at home and abroad in recent years. Content-based image retrieval CBIR (Content Based Image Retrieval) is a database t...

The role of social workers within the Hong Kong psychiatric service is not satisfactory. This paper argues that these roles should be flexibly re-examined and revised, so that the needs of mentally ill patients and their families and new challenges faced by the mental health service can be met. To enhance service quality, social workers employed in a psychiatric setting need to improve their ma...

Every organization needs a staff appropriate for its tasks in order to accomplish its business objectives, both now and in the future. To gain insight into the quality and number of staff needed in the future, human resource forecasting models are being used. This chapter addresses the design of a simulation model for human resources forecasting, which is being developed for the Chief of Naval ...

Increasingly stringent international diesel particulate emissions standards have re-established interest in Diesel filters. Modern Diesel engine technology, with computerized engine management systems and advanced, common rail injection systems, needs to be fully exploited in order to allow the application of efficient and durable Diesel filter systems, usually supported by catalytic aids, as s...

The British Paediatric Association (BPA) has carried out a national survey of paediatric medical manpower in the hospital and community child health services. The results of the survey relating to England and Wales are presented and compared with Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS) manpower statistics. On the basis of the survey findings and current trends in the pattern of paediatr...

An outpatient pharmacy of a tertiary hospital in Singapore had uncertainty over the impact of different manpower scheduling strategies on the length of time (that is, cycle time) that their patients needed to spend during their visits. This article illustrated how this uncertainty could be addressed via application of discrete-event simulation (DES). Recent service rates of pharmacy staff and m...
